SF Giants never get love from ESPN.
So figured Giants improbable win over LA Dodgers with a 30 year old rookie Spencer Bivens who started pro-career in Paris making $500 a week & started 2023 in high-A ball wouldn’t be top story.
But cool that one of top Sportscenter stories WAS an WNBA game.
–
Bivens is such a cool story. His first pro contract in France in 2018 was for $500 a month.. With the MLB daily per diem for player for meals at $117.50, he’ll get more meal money from the SF Giants for a week on the road than he made in a month in France.

Dodgers star Tyler Glasgow came into yesterday’s game as a likely All-Star game starter.
SF Giants tagged him for 5 runs in 3 innings
Dodger star James Paxton came into today’s SF Giants game 7.1 with a 3.39 ERA. Giants have tagged him for 9 runs through 4 innings.
Baseball is a funny game.

Non political NBA joy! Chris Paul, one of my favorite NBA players, has signed with my favorite coach Gregg Popovich. Paul is going to look really good in a San Antonio Spurs uniform passing the ball to Wemby!
–
Weird fact, LeBron James may be playing with his son Bronny next year, who is 20 years younger than he is. But Wemby is 19 years younger than Chris Paul.!
–
For that matter, Diana Taurasi and Caitlin Clark are about 20 years apart. And this picture is nice – game recognizes game.

Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction says educators who refuse to teach students about the Bible could lose their teaching license. So they’re asking atheists to lie to their students. For starters.
And if they are going to teach the Bible, what about the Song of Solomon? Or the story of Lot’s daughters getting dad drunk so they could have sex with him and get pregnant? Or David and Bathsheba.
–
Been thinking: How many of us have had something important at work or involving being a parent or just an adult where we felt like crap & not at our best, but showed up anyway because it’s what you do
Just possible many Americans respect and empathize even more with President BIden now.
–
Does anyone think Donald Trump personally picked his 3 SCOTUS judges, or all his federal judge nominees? But to be fair, Presidents in general rely on their staffs & advisors for nominations. So we want Trump’or Biden’s staff to be making the next 4 years’ nominations?
–
SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito was missing from the bench recently. Presumably he was ill. Since he ruled that judges know more than experts I trust he consulted a conservative judge friend rather than going to a doctor.
–
Many smart people who went to 3 years of law school & became judges last took a science class in high school. Now SCOTUS is saying judges know more on regulatory issues with food, water, air etc, than scientists with PhD’s? Vote blue at least to get judges who trust experts.
–
Biden ran against 26 Dems in 2020 primary. Pete Buttigieg & Amy Klobuchar endorsed Joe same day. At Dallas rally when Amy mentioned the debates,
Biden leaned into microphone & said, “all of which you won.”
Winning the Presidency is not about being the best debater, then or now.
–
For the NY Times it went downhill faster when President Biden wouldn’t grant them an interview. New NY Times motto: “All the News That’s Fit to be Petulant.”
–
Why isn’t today’s Maureen Dowd line on Biden getting more press?
“Got to know Biden in 1987 when he was running for president…I knocked him out of that race when I wrote about how he cloaked himself in the life of Neil Kinnock.”
She’s gleefull, and self aggrandizing about the idea of destroying Joe.
As many in national media behave like a bunch of sharks smelling blood in the water. remember -for them it’s about ratings and clicks. Their goals are not democracy’s goals.
